Overview: The Town receives annual federal Housing Capital Fund grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for comprehensive renovation and improvements in our public housing neighborhoods. We received notification from HUD that the amount of the 2021-2022 Capital Fund grant is $935,260, and we have developed a plan based on this grant amount. The FY 2022 grant represents a 4.9% increase from the FY 2021 Capital Fund Grant.

Summary of Recommended Plan
Proposed Sources of Funds
Capital Fund Program $935,260
Key Issues:
• In April 2021, Public Housing staff met virtually with residents (and interpreters) to receive comments and suggestions on the use of the Capital Fund grant. Seven residents of Public Housing attended the meeting.
• Staff also mailed residents a survey inviting them to suggest uses for the Capital Fund Program. Twenty seven surveys were completed and returned.
• Staff considered the comments received from the meeting and the survey in developing the proposed activities.
• In response to the increased demand for affordable housing in our area, staff continues to review how we allocate our available resources and explores alternative options for providing public housing.
• Use of funds as proposed is consistent with our recommendations for improvements identified in the Public Housing Master Plan.
Summary of Recommended Plan:
The recommended plan is based on the grant amount of $935,260 to be allocated as follows:

Electrical Upgrades $200,000
Concrete Repair & Replacement 140,000
